2 AWAIT NEWS OF NAVAL CONFLICT ST. PETERSBURG ON EDGE OF - EXPECTATION LAND BATTLE ALSO IMMINENT Rumored Request of Rojestvensky to . Be Relieved Discredited and Nebogatoff's Squadron Be. lleved In Good Condition By Associated press. ST. PETERSBURG, May 18.— With a suspicious stoppage of dispatches from Manchuria and a strong possibility that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky has cut his last communications with home and set forth on the final stage of his Journey to his goal, whether that be Togo or Vladivostok, keen interest is manifested In naval and military circles here as to the twofold field of war. Though the admiralty, which has been completely silent since the advent of Rojestvensky In the Chinese sea, publishes no dispatches, the conviction grows that the united snuadrons, as in dicated by the Associated Press on May 16, departed from the Annam coast Immediately after their Juncture, and naval officials are anxiously expecting news of the first skirmishes between scouts of the hostile fleets. The As sociated Press correspondent, on his visits to naval officials yesterday to in vestigate the rumor that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's health had been brok en down, was repeatedly and ener getically truestloned for the latest in formation through press dispatches, which were declared to be a better source of news than Is the ndmiralty. Capt. Clado confirmed the statement of the Associated Press that the vessels of both squadrons are equipped with apparatus for cleaning their bottoms at sea. He said it was entirely possible for Vice Admiral Nebogatoff to have put the last finishing touches to the ves sels of his division during the myster ious Interval when they were lost to sight before passing the straits of Malacca. Rojestvensky's Rumored Retirement Neither the admiralty nor individual officers have any Information regarding the rumored request of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky to be relieved, and all who were questioned regarding the re port expressed doubt of its accuracy. It was pointed out that it would be en tirely ineradicable for the fleet to de lay in the Chinese sea until the arrival of Vice Admiral Biriloff, and It was de clared that Rojestvensky will keep his flag flying as long as he is not utterly incapacitated. Should that happen the command would naturally devolve upon Vice Admiral Voelkersam, who is known as an officer of Teutonic thor oughness and attention to the fine de tails of his profession. He is also a notable strategist and theorist. The Associated Press was informed late last night that Vice Admiral Blri loff will be sent to Vladivostok and this possibly accounts for the rumor of Rojestvensky's request to be re lieved of his command. Great Battle in Prospect On the military side the indications are that events are rapidly shaping for the preliminary stage of another great battle. The Russian army has been refitted and is ready for action, and it is asserted that Gen. Llnevitch is not the man to waste days in inac tion. A further mobilization of cavalry in one or two districts was ordered today, but no large draft is required, as re inforcements for the cavalry arm are al hand in the recently embodied Cos sacks, whose departure for Manchuria was postponed in anticipation of May day troubles. A small but Important detachment will l"aye Si. Petersburg today to join Gen. Llnevltrh's army.

PAYMENT IS POSTPONED Mrs. Klser Cannot Draw Her Pension for Twelve Years Hv Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 17.— Mrs. David Klser of this city has been grant ed a pension of $8 pfy month, but will not begin to draw it until twelve years from date. The unusual ruling is due to the fact that she drew a pension for twelve years on the presumption that her husband, David Kiser, was dead. He recently died here after being brought home sick from a Denver hos pital. . .. He hud been mourned as dead for twenty-seven years, moßt of which time he was in the Black Hills in a vain search for cold. RACE OVER SEftl FOR KAISER'S CUP (CnnMmwi from Pas* On«.) ir.jr before the breeze and nwpeplng her toward the line. Still further away ■were the Sunbeam and Apache, tnklng plenty of sea room to put on sail and get under way. Almost at the. flash of the starting gun the Alltta nnd Hlldegnrd* went across the line, with the yawl slightly in the lead and In the windward po sition. Crowding close behind them came the Atlantic, Kndymlon, Ham burg, Thistle, Utowana and Valhalla In that order. Utowana and Valhalla Pocketed As the vessels crowded together at the windward end of the starting line, each captain anxious to secure the weather position, the schooners In the lead crowded the Utowana and Val halla flo badly that they were unable to cross the line without a collision. They approached the line from such a direction that the other yachts were crossing their bows, yet they sailed to their course so long that the Utowana, the leader of the two, became pocketed so that she could not be turned about. Both she and the Valhalla bore down upon the schooners threateningly. While passing Banatug and the com mittee boat It looked aa though they were going to smash Into the Atlantic and Endymlon, and an order came from the committee boat to go about and cross the line properly. Hardly In time to prevent a collis ion the fleet made an opening for them, and they went through them and swung Into line. Warning whistles and signal flags recalled them, but not until they had gone more than half a mile on their course were they able to get clear of the fleet and return and re cross the line. In the meantime the little schooner Fleur de Lls, on which Miss Candaee Stlmson, the owner's daughter, was a passenger, slipped across the line and quickly overtook the Thistle. All the leaders got away within v minute of the starting gun at 12:15, but the Fleur de Lls crossed at 12:27; Sun beam, 12:30; Apache, 12:35; Utowana, 12:67 and Valhalla at 1:25. The latter ■was In irons in tacking at the line and thus was badly delayed. Atlantic Takes the Lead Among the leaders the yawl Ailsa clung to the windward position, and quickly drew away from the Hilde garde. The long, lean three master Atlantic, with Captain Barr at the helm, went aft and slipped by them both like a keen greyhound, and at her stern clung the German Hamburg, which in the first five minutes had al most overhauled the Ailsa and dropped the Endymlon astern of her. It was evident that the German -was hot after the flying leader more than a quarter of a mile ahead and that Captain Barr was wasting not a moment in securing the position In which he has so often placed American craft — the lead. It was to be a royal battle between the Yankee by adoption and the Teuton, with Lemuel Miller of the Ailsa, and the Gloucester fishing skipper. Captain Borden of the Fleur de Lis each eager for the lead and wise in ways to get it. Strung out the long fleet faded into the dim horizon and was gone.

END OF STRIKE IS DRAWING NEAR FINISH WILL PROBABLY COME WITHIN 48 HOURS WILL CONFER THIS MORNING Teamsters' Joint Council and a Com mittee Representing the Team Owners' Association to Hold Meeting By AMnclated Press. CHICAGO, May 17.— 1t Is highly probable that the next 48 hours will see the end of the Teamsters' strike in Chicago. Although none of the labor loaders will so acknowledge, it is generally un dtrstood tonight that the program for calling oft the strike has already been arranged. Tomorrow morning by 9 o'clock a meeting will be held between the teamsters' joint council and a com mittee representing the Team Owners' association. It will be made plain to the teamsters that the business inter ests of the team owners will be render It Imperative that the boycott be lifted. It will then be agreed by the team owners to make deliveries to boycotted houses with union drivers be submitted to arbitration. This arbitration is to concern only the Team Owners' asso ciation and the teamsters, the members of the Employers' association being In no manner interested in it In an offi cial sense. Pending the decision of this board of arbitration, the strike is to be called off and such members of the Teamsters' union as are able to obtain their old situations will return to work. Will End Strike This will end the strike entirely with the exception of the strike against Montgomery Ward & Company, and it is not expected aggressive measures will be adopted by either side, the trouble In this direction being allowed to die out gradually. President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor was very active today in all efforts made toward set tling the strike. He conferred with members of the Teamowners associa tion, held conferences with the team sters and had an extended talk with Mayor Dunne. He refused to state the results of his day's work, but expressed himself as being confident that the strike would be adjusted within a short time. The manner of the settlement he declined to discuss, but it is said he was in favor of almost any plan that would bring about an honorable adjustment. Little If any opposition was made to day by the strikers and their friends to the making of deliveries by non union drivers. In fact, the streets had almost assumed their normal condition, and there was little to indicate that a strike of larsje proportions was in prog ress. Schoolboys Punished The authorities have taken hold of the strike fever in the public schools with a firm hand, and this afternoon Judge Mack of the juvenile court sentenced one boy to be imprisoned at the John Worthy school, which Is a branch of the house of correction, and two at the Parental school, while a third was re leased on probation. When Judge Mack passed sentence the lads In an outburst of crying- ap pealed for mercy. Their parents also wept and pleaded with the Judge for an other chance for the prisoners. The Judge, however, remained fixed In his_ determination. He replied to the parents: "These school strikes must stop. They have got to stop, and they will stop right away. It is time these boys learned there is such a thing as law and that those who break laws must suffer. The sentences will stand." Six warrants were sworn out today for the parents of young strikers in the Harrison school district, and they will be arraigned in court tomorrow morning.

The. reason given tor the closing of the hank is th« protection of the depositors.

"Is that no?" answered the colonel, mop ping the perspiration from his face. "That'a too hud, but you will be all right now, frank. • They are sure to thaw out today." A Natural Inquiry The simplicity of some former Inaugurn'. haplii-nliiKH In lllUHtrated by an old story which haa broil revived and Is going the rounds at Washington. It was originally told by Frederick Douglass In his lecture on John Brown. Just after his first Inaugu ration President Lincoln was on* day black* Ing his boots In democratic fashion when several foreign diplomats called and caught Mm In the act. One of them remarked, tneerlngly: "Mr. T'rvsldent, In our countrlea the tiilrt executive! do not black their own boots." "Indeed," (aid Mr. Lincoln with evident 'curiosity, "whose boots Uo they black?" 'PARSIFAL' MUSIC AT MAY FESTIVAL BAND, SOLOISTS AND CHORUS DELIGHT AUDIENCE ARTISTIC MATINEE PROGRAM Third Day Performaneea of Innes' Organization Prove the Con* ductor's Versatile Qenlus Two proßrnms of a quality seldom presented by r band were heard yester day by the audiences that attended the Mny festival. In some respects the matinee program was the moat artistic of the week, for it struck a high note and maintained It. The effect of the I-lszt-Kublnsieln numbers was not marred by popular encore "pieces." From beginning to end the afternoon concert whs representative of the best that enn be produced by a band of the most perfect organization. Innes wns at his best nt both con certs and from an educational point of view — 1C for no other consideration— lt is a pity Temple auditorium was not crowded afternoon and evening. • The attendance was far behind what it should have been, but the size of the audience apparently had no effect upon the enthusiasm of the sixty men who played hs if each was an artist of the first rank. The two most remarkable of the Liszt numbers were the seldom played "First Hungarian Rhapsody" and "Les Preludes." These were or chestral in their Interpretation. They were played with superb dignity, dra matic warmth and marvelous tone shadlngs. The other two Liszt selec tions were the "Second Hungarian Rhapsody" and the "Polonaise No. 2." The "Triumphal" overture and the ■'Paraphrase of the Melody in F" were the two principal Rubinstein numbers. The overture was magnificently played and the familiar "Melody In F" was given with a delicacy that stirred the audience to most Insistent demands for encores. Mrs. Partridge and Mr. Archambault were heard In solos. Paul England, the London baritone, had been advertised on the program but he was unable to appear and the baritone who accom panies the band acted as substitute. "Parsifal" by the Band "Parsifal" did not prove to be a draw ing attraction in the evening. The audience was only slightly larger than that of Tuesday night but it was much more demonstrative. The Wagner num bers were reserved for the second part. The overture to the "Merry Wives of Windsor"- opened the concert. With in tervening encores, "Traumerel" and "Pizzicati," the. Strauss concert valse followed. One of the encores, the two step march, "Prince Charming," by Innes, was received with applause that must have delighted the composer. Kryl, the cornetlst, again earned numerous recalls. The "Carnival of Venice" fantasy caused him to respond to an encore by playing "Rocked In the Cradle of the Deep," In which his lowest notes struck the bottom of the sea. The "Parsifal" music was a revela tion event to those who had heard the Conreid Opera company, for the band brought out all the beauties of the pro cessional march of the Knights of the Holy Grail, the chorus of flower maid ens and the temptation of Parsifal. Mr. Archambault, who sang the "Lament of Amfortas," strengthened the good impression he has made. His big voice, with its beautiful middle tones and its splendid jange, was heard to good advantage. Mr. Fritz N. Hutt man's interpretation of the "Parsifal" music afforded the first good oppor tunity for this singer to be heard. • He has a pure tenor voice, full and rich in tone. . He was well received last evening. In the solo where Kundry tempts Parsifal, Mrs. Partridge's voice was adequate to the demands of .the music although her interpretation was lacking In dramatic fire. The festival chorus did its best work in the Parsifal music. | Again, much of the volume of sound was lost, but the voices showed most intelligent • train ing by Prof, Jahn. ■ ".-.-■,■ Attractions for Today The programs for today are as fol lows: AFTERNOON.
